Hello from me. This week a blur of rain and darkness as mid-winter makes itself known. I have been waiting and waiting for this weekend to arrive, for the party that we are going to tonight with good, old friends. For family time and pre-Christmas preparations. I like how Christmas falls this year as we will get a weekend and then Christmas Eve; a stretch of time uninterrupted by work.

I received some really kind comments to my last post where I talked about the serendipity of this year. Serendipity: when you find something good without expecting to. Sometimes blogland bestows kindness in comments that do make me smile. In the same vein, today I got a Christmas card from Denmark from a fellow blogger who knows I partial to all things Copenhagen. Likewise a bumper L'Apothecaryorder from another blogger, one which I have just dispatched; in time to reach her in Scotland by Christmas Eve.

I like how the world shrinks sometimes. So, have a wonderful weekend, getting everything ready... :-)

Darling your posts are always so stunning! I love the parade of beauty and inspiration!

How lovely that you received word from wonderful wonderful Copenhagen - I too rate it one of my weak spots. Especially in Summer when I can drink the salty air and stroll the cobble stoned streets in sunny bliss. Sigh *Congratulations on your l'Apothecary orders - I am so happy you are living your dream. x

Thank you for your comment and Christmas wishes on my holiday post. We are so ready to start the festivities. We made saffron & coconut toffee, and chocolate truffles today. Isabella was a delight to watch as she filled small trays with molten chocolate, drizzled coconut and generally had a ball! :)Am wrapping presents tonight and painfully, yet wonderfully we write rhymes on each and everyone to extend the thoughtfulness a little further. It's painful and fun all at the same time. :)

OK my Danish delight, I am off to have some dinner and then retreat with the kidlets over the Polar Express and some chocolate dipped bananas. *(January detox ahead.. and OMG it will be painful!)

Ah Lou...how do ou manage to find the most divine pictures of Miss P?? But all that beauty aside...wishing you and you're lovely family a wonderful and peaceful Christmas! You've achieved so much this year and am so very proud both of you and to know you. Have a fantastic weekend and enjoy all the magic yet to come. Lot of love, Amanda xxx
